7 Ways Educators Can Help Students Cope In a Pandemic
|
"Under the best of circumstances, children need to know that their world is safe and that they’re competent and worthy of respect. Students can’t solve problems, learn, self-regulate, or exhibit empathy or self-compassion if they’re marinating in fear."
|
|
"We do not need magic to transform our world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better."
